Together, we are not only expanding Malaysia’s data centre infrastructure but also advancing innovation, sustainability, and economic growth for future generations.”
Meanwhile, Eric Fan, CEO of Bridge Data Centres, expressed his appreciation for TNB’s dedication and efficiency, stating: “The MY07 Electricity Supply Agreement is pivotal in ensuring reliable power availability, enabling BDC to maintain rapid delivery timelines for our hyperscale data centre services and meet the dynamic demands of our customers.
“The Green Energy Partnership establishes a framework for BDC to incorporate renewable energy into its operations, demonstrating a shared commitment between TNB and BDC toward sustainability and carbon reduction. This collaboration aligns with global trends in green data centre operations and contributes to Malaysia’s renewable energy transition goals.”
